ICC chief executive has conceded that modern bats have "shifted the balance"
in favour of batsmen, especially in limited-overs cricket.
The issue was a growing concern and the ICC has begun to consider remedial steps,
the first of which will come during the World Cup :
where boundary ropes are to be pulled as far back as 90 yards.

Modern-day cricketers make statements with their bats.
They have more bulge at the back, the edges are chunky (as thick as two inches),
the whole bat is a sweet spot and it can send the ball much higher, much faster and
much farther than once imagined.

In the name of entertainment, administrators have given consent to shorter boundaries
at most venues thereby further hurting the case of the bowler.

The MCC, as law makers, and the ICC will be looking at giving perhaps some consideration
to placing limitations on the depth of a bat in particular.
